At Southern Border, Pelosi Visits Immigrants, Cruz Visits Law Enforcement

Both Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) visited the United States' southern border in the beginning of 2017, but they met with two different groups of people.

Pelosi appeared over the weekend at a respite center in the Rio Grande Valley that aids immigrants released from Border Patrol and reportedly accommodated undocumented immigrants in the past.

Cruz visited the border in February and said he likes to meet with Border Patrol in the area whenever he comes.

"Every time I come to the border, I try to listen and ask questions to border patrol, law enforcement, sheriffs. And just listen to and ask, what works?" Cruz said, according to RGV Proud.

Cruz rode in a helicopter and boat with Texas Department of Public Safety officers and Border Patrol agents along the Rio Grande River. The Texas senator said he asked law enforcement whether a wall was effective and helped them enforce the border.

"I just said, ‘You tell me. Is this a good thing for you?' And the answer I got was an emphatic, ‘Yes,' that the wall is a helpful tool. They said, ‘The wall doesn’t stop traffickers, but it slows them down,'" Cruz said of his conversations.

Pelosi, on the other hand, said during her trip that a wall would not protect Americans.

"A wall is not protecting the American people," said Pelosi, who traveled to a respite center run by Catholic charities.

Nancy, ask the Israelis, Chinese or Hungarians about the usefulness of a wall.

“immigrants” at the southern border? Hope this will be a thing of the past.

Should be either at Ellis Island, or any international airport or seaport with a valid visa in their possession.

She’s trolling for Botox, as well as other “medications”.

Pelosi was probably signing them up to vote. When it comes to illegals, that’s all that is important to her.

Hey Nancy, why don’t you let some of your precious illegals come and stay at your fancy resort free of charge? You know damn well they’d trash the place.

I’d say to her. “Well a wall is about to be protecting the American people.” Then I’d laugh and walk away while she chews on that.

Illegal aliens, here in violation of our laws. Not immigrants. Illegal aliens.

Peaceful occupiers accomplish the same thing as armed troops.

They take land.

If anyone doubts this, I hold up Los Angeles where less than half the adult populace can speak English well enough to participate in the business environment.

For all intents, it’s Mexico.

Not a shot was fired.

She’s trolling for Botox, as well as other “medications”.

A recent article in a Gay Bay fishwrap, reported that Nancy Pelosi has sued Stanford Hospital saying that after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.

A hospital spokesman replied, "Your husband was admitted for cataract surgery and early deafness. All we did was correct his eyesight and install a miniature hearing device.

He apparently got ED, when he could finally see and hear you clearly!

Sex starved and depraved Pelosi grabs Russian President by the arm and then denies that she ever met him!

Thanks to VVayne for this medical picture of patient abuse of Botox and Plastic Surgery!

Speaking of rat incompetents, was the Clown Chuckie seen leaving the back door of a NYC AIDS clinic?

“immigrants” my ass.

More like illegal alien invaders.

Hey, Pelosi, move them to your vineyard and estate in The People’s Republic of California.

Cruz visits our protectors.

Pelosi visits our incoming illegal aliens and criminals, and their US protectors.

Now you know why Trump won in November.
